The Payoff of Perserverance

It has been a while since hunting has been this sparse. The construction that I relied on for so long to dig deep holes for me is gone to areas where the fossils are deep or non existant. I have been relying on old spots to bring satiety to my hunting drive. Usually, the digs are more of a workout than actual fossil digs, but I knew that eventually my persistence would pay off and today it finally did. I hit a pocket of thick gravel when I spied the big blade of a megalodon. I carefully scraped the dirt away to take a ground shot, but my hopes were dashed when I found the tooth to be broken. Just an inch away, I pulled out a nearly perfect angustidens with all the sweet color I have been seeing on the broken teeth. Its nice to finally come home with something worth all the hard work!
